Oh my goodness, this sounds good!

I'm a soup girl, especially soups made with chicken. Made a pot of soup one week with what I had on hand (chicken, quartered zuchinni, fresh corn, diced tomatoes & diced tomatoes w/chiles. Threw in a good handful of brown rice to add a little more substance and it was an instant favorite. Now, to find a great guy to share it with...

 

count me in...LOL. I will romance the shit out of you over that soup. LOL.

LOL. LOL

anymore recipes for the fam

 

Hee hee! Ok, my place at 6:00! :smt026

And if you're REALLY romantic, maybe I'll make you some good ol' Pennsylvania Dutch chicken pot pie (it's not a pie - more like big fat noodles) or chicken corn soup. And whoopie pies for dessert! We in PA Make the best ones!

My last bf was from Alabama and loved my cooking although he had to add hot sauce to everything! I learned to eat/make foods like they love in the South and got pretty good at it too! My first try at southern-style potato salad was spectacular (if I may say so myself!)

 

aww shit. Im from bama but I dont need hot sauce to keep it popping. LOL.
I will be there at 5:50. I will leave you romance-whipped .

 

Mmmm! I do love that bama accent! Be here at 5:30 and just talk to me for a half hour! I'll cook you anything you want! LOL!

 

LOL.

For carrot haters!

Here's a recipe for people who hate carrots. Works every time (for me, anyway). They're easy to make, and absolutely delicious! Serves 4-6 (maybe less since they are so good!)

- 12 med carrots, peeled and cut into coins (frozen is fine, or you can use whole baby carrots, enough to feed 4-6)
- 3 T butter (not margarine)
- 2 T tablespoons maple syrup (the real stuff - NOT pancake syrup!)
- 1-2 T fresh basil, finely chopped (dry is ok too, but the flavor isn't as rich)
- Pinch sea salt (regular salt will do as well)

Steam carrots until tender but not mushy. In a large frypan, melt butter. Add maple syrup, carrots, basil & sea salt and toss to coat.

(I found this recipe years ago in a book entitled "Fit for Life" by Harvey & Marilyn Diamond.)

 

2 eggs
Sage
Black pepper
Oregano
Olive Oil
2 slices of Smoked Salmon torn in small pieces
5 slices of Chorizo (diced)
Handful of fresh Spinach leaves
Parmesan / Parma Reggiano Cheese melted on the cooked omlette

Eggy Elysium

 

Carrots are the devil. Evil, evil carrots.

 

Lol! You want to keep your eyesight sharp so you can ogle the hot guys on here, right? Eat your carrots, Pix!

 

Yuck!! Cooked carrots especially are evil.

 

Pestilence, War, Famine, Death and Carrots

 

The Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse. 8)

 

Then this recipe is for you. Try it and see if you like them even a tiny bit more. The combo of the butter, basil & maple syrup transforms ick to yum.

 

I've had it. Just...disgusting. No matter how you disguise it the true evil nature of carrots always comes through.

 

Other omelet add-ins: Swiss cheese and asparagus tips; fresh spinach & crumbled feta cheese ; diced tomatoes, diced chiles, sprinkled with shredded Mexican cheeses.

Speaking of asparagus, best way to prepare it as a side dish (imo) is lightly coat with olive oil and grill. Season with sea salt.

 

:smt068 , :smt071 & :smt070 to all carrot kind.

Maple syrup is for porridge, ice cream, belgian waffles and greek yoghurt only!! haha

 

Don't knock it 'til you try it!

 

You've got that right!! rayer:
